I don't like how the staff is casually just a better Nirvana and the best nuking staff. I mean, it's cool that they put summoner stats on it when it would have been on-brand to give it avatar: accuracy and magic accuracy +50 and call it a day, but... they could have dialed the blood pact damage back to 15 on the final upgrade, and put on avatar: magic attack bonus +50, and made a Nirvana-tier magic staff while keeping the old one relevant for physical damage.
EDIT: Though I guess you don't get perp- on the prime staff, so Nirvana still has a purpose between blood pacts, barely?
I'm not sure how putting two additional songs and all songs +4 on the same instrument wasn't replacing Gjallarhorn and Daurdabla, but I guess technically those aren't weapons.
Foenaria's going to be interesting though. Hits harder than Apocalypse and has triple attack, but it loses out on that sexy Haste aftermath. Definitely a straight upgrade in a supported party setting (especially with the PDL+ aftermath), but is it going to be a full replacement for solo play, or will the aftermath save the old relic there?
